A novel custom still prevails among
ladies in some parts which will commend
itself TO maiden ladies growing old. 1t is
said that she who puts on a silk knit gar
ter the first day Of the year and wears it
continuously will certainly marry during
the year. 1t is said that the mother Of a
young lady, being very much pleased with
the silken garter worn by young lady
for this purpose, proposed to knit q "fel-
low for it; but the young lady declined,
saying she had sufficient confidence in the
bewitching circlet and preferred the
natural coming of the ''fellow.-All the

ARBOR DAY.

Governor Leslie has issued a proclama-
tion setting apart the 18th day of May,
prox., for Arbor Day, in accordance with
the provisions of an act passed by our
last legislature. We earnestly trust that
the citizens of the Gallatin valley will
take due advantage of this excellent law
and on the 18th of May carry out it's spir-
il and intention. Many are here TO make
their permanent homes in this valley,
and with but slight exertion they can
make their homes more beautiful, invite
tn song-birds of summer to their doors,
and do much to cOunteract the injury be-
ing done by the wholesale Telling of the
timber which covers the mountain sides,
which is 80 necessary to the valleys re-
quiring rainfall that they may produce
crops The law which gives the Governor
authority to make proclamation for an A r.
Dor Day was introduced by MIR. William
Sutherlin, Of White Sulphur Springs, a
gentleman whose life work is for the
benefit of husbandry. The main points
of the law are given herewith, as con
densed by the Helena Herald
'The law has many different pro visions
bearing upon arborculture, among which
are the following: That teachers in pub
lie schools shall train the thoughts of the
youth in tree planting and decorating.
by practical observance of Arbor Day.
That land shall undergo no augmented
assessed valuation for a period of ten
years, by reason of its value having in
creased by the planting of fruit or forest
trees. 1t also exempts from assessment
at the rate of 800 per acre wear for
eight years, one or more acres Of land
that has been planted in fruit trees, al
cultivated for two years, provided that
the trees be planted not more than SO
feet apart. Under similar conditions,
provided the trees be not more than 8
feet apart, land planted in forest trees,
kept in growing condition, shall be ex.
empt from assessmenteach year for six
years. at the rate of 800 for each acre 30

THE PRESIDENT AND PENSIONS.


After all the denunciation that Presl-
dent Cleveland has received at the hands
of his enemies for the vigorous exercise
of his veto power with regard to fraudu'
lent pension claims, recent incident is
worthy of inentien. On the 18th OF Feb
ruary, the President vetoed a private
pension bill on the ground that the SOL
dier was entitled to greater relief under
the law than was accorded under the
act, as was shown by the records OF the
pension bureau.
A fortnight ago he received letter
from the claimants sttorney saying that
the pension certificate had not reached
the beneficiary. Theieupon the Fresi'
dent wrote an autograph letter to the
commissioner of pensions inquiring into
the causes of delay. This looks as " ne

Early Thursday morning g the village of
Lake Crystal was visited by a disastrous
fire. An entire block of business build.
ings was destroyed before the fire could
be controlled. Lake Crystal has good
fire department, but the facilities for
bringing same into action are poor as
they usually are in all small towns.
The village owns a steamer, but as it
took nearly half an hour to fire up the
engine and get it into working shape,
the fire had gained such Roadway that
it was only by hard work that it was
confined to the one block. A chemical
might have confined the fire to one or
two buildings. The losses are as fol-
lows: Rowland and Reese, hardware,

CHAS. L. ROOS, Managing Editor
Wednesday, September 21, 1887.
A correspondent of the Minneapolis
Evening Journal writes from Speartlsh,
Dakota, that recently few miles from
that village a huge tree was felled IN
whose top was found imbedded a log
chain. The tree had grown completely
around the chain. 1t is believed that
when Father De Smet visited that re-
gion half century ago, his party
camped at that point and the chain
was hung on a sapllng and forgotten.
The tree grew, and when the chain was
discovered by white men, the tree had
attained mammoth proportions and
carried the relic of De Smet's camp
with it. From time to time relics OF
former occupancy Of the Black Hills
many years ago by the whites are be-
ing found by miners a primitive sluice
box here, pick and shovel there, an
abandoned shaft, all buried beneath
the accumulated drift of years-mute
evidences of hardy pioneers. who, leav-
ing the homes of loved ones in search
of gold, were never heard from more.
To the Indians the Big Hills, as they
termed them, were Mecca, and they
might, if they wished, lift the gloom
from many sad heart whose loved
one fell at their hands. Only few
days ago, a.message from the past was
unearthed by a Swede quarryman. He
was excavating a number of large rocks
from gulch and priedtup huge fat
stone, It rested against a giant oak
and the deep imprint on the tree proved
that years and years had rolled by and
no living thing had disturbed this local
ity. With three or four blasts he re-.
moved the stone and found underneath
a smooth piece of limestone about two
feet square. 1t was covered with moss
and sediment, and must have been
eight feet under ground. After remov.
ing the moss and washing the stone, it
was found to bear the following in
scription: ''lot all the gold we could
carry. Our ponys all got by the In.
dians. have lost my gun and nothing
to eat and indians hunting me. Came
to these hills in 1883 seven of us, tDe
Lacompte, Ezra Kind, G.. w. Wood,
T. Brown, R. Kent, VIM. King, Indian
Crow. All ded but me Ezra Kind.
Killed by Ind. Beyond the high hill
got our gold June 1884" 1t has beer
ascertained that seven men were killed
by Indians in that section of the coun
try in 1884. They had come from the
the west, accompanied by a Crow In
dian as guide. An examination of the
Cheyenne agency records named De
Lacompte, resides at Wichotepee and
draws rations. It is supposed that the
murdered De Lacompte, one of the sew
en-, was this half.breed's father. The
spot where Ezra Kind, the last man o1
the seven to die, left the brief but touch
ing tale of their sufferings, was an ex
cellent hiding place, and few hundred
feet from the top of Lookout. Point
He could easily watch the movements
of the red skins, but being left withou
gun and pony he was compelled to
venture out into the open valley and
thus fall prey to the savages, who
killed without mercy any white man
who dared to venture into this, thei1
ideal and much coveted land.

Judge Webber, of New Ulm, in case
prosecuted by Collester and Forster, of
this city, has decided that in real estate
transfers a grantee taking land in the
name of Albert n. Mum, and deciding
it in the name of A. H. Mum,
conveys no title without proof of identi-
fication, notwithstanding the deed to
Albert H. Mum was produced in evil
dence. If this decision be correct there
are a great number of very precarious
titles to real estate on record in this
state as the proof of Identification in
many cases would be altogether imposs-
ible.--lMa7akato Free Press.

Market Prospects.

Market Prospects.
Using the latest crop figures as bas-
is and accepting them as approximately
correct, it is not easy to understand
why wheat should not advance consid-
erably in price during the coming three
months. The extra wheat crop in some
parts Of Europe is offset by the poor
crops in other parts. and it appears from
statistics now published that the Europ-
can and Indian supply is after all hard
ly greater than it was last year. The
American supply, including the Canadi-
an quota, is certainly short. Conse-
quently it looks as though the United
States are to be called on to export al
most as much during the current as
during the past year. The total wheat
crop of the United States in 1886 is now
thought to be 447, 900, 900 bushels, while
this years crop is estimated no higher
than 43O, 900, 900 and as low as 400, 000,-
900 bushels. A shortage of anywhere
near ~, 100000 bushels, with equal or
nearly equal export demand, would or
dinarily mean an advance in price. It
will be interesting to note what methods
of manipulation will be tried by the
bears to keep down the price Of Ameri-
can wheat. American holders should
resolute]y ignore European bear tactics
during the coming autumn and winter.
Panicky nervousness has during the
past year cost American wheat dealers
millions of dollars. A stiff upper lip
and tight hold on wheat stocks may
enable them to recover portion Of
these millions this year on this crop of
wheat. Milling. World.
The Scientific american copies from
La La1naiere Electrique the old state
ment that the first lightning rod was
not constructed by Franklin, but by a
Bohemian Monk named Prochop Di-
wish, who installed an apparatus in June,
1854. This apparatus was composed
OF pole surmounted by an iron rod
supporting twelve curved-up branches,
and terminating in as many metallic
boxes, filed with iron ore and closed
by a lockwood cover, traversed by ~
sharp iron, points. which plunged at
their base in the ore. All the system
was united to the earth by a large
chain. The enemies of Diwish, Jealous
of his success at the court of Vienna,
excited the peasants of the locality
against him, and under the pretext
that his lightning rod was the cause OF
the great drought, they made him take
down the lightning rod which he had
utilized for six years. This oft-repeat.
| ed statement, however, does not detract
from Franklin's merit. 1t was shown
long ago that Diwish knew no more
about electricity than the Morse discov.
erers of America knew about the shape
of the earth. Diwish applied the know.
ledge which others had furnished him
| to useful end Franklin extended
that knowledg ge. and on the basis Of his
experiments constructed lightning
rod which was devoid of that awe-in
spring and superfuous complexity
which characterized the huge appara
tus invented by Diwish.
